Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Centennial Celebration of the Settlement of the Town of Lancaster, N. H., July 14, 1864: Reported by J. M. W. Yerrinton In accordance with a notice extensively circulated by a committee of the citizens of Lancaster, N. H., the one hundreth anniversary of the settlement of that town was celebrated on Thursday, the 14th of July, 1864. Invitations had been extended to very many of the former residents of the town, now scattered throughout the broad Union, to re-visit their early home, and take part in the exercises of the occasion. To these invitations a large number responded in person or by letter. Among the prominent gentlemen from abroad were Hon. Edward D. Holton, of Milwaukee, Wis.; John B. Brown, Esq., of Portland, Me.; Nathaniel White, Esq., of Concord, N. H., and I. B. Gorham, Esq., of St. Johnsbury, Vt. A national salute, fired from two old field pieces, taken from the British by Stark, at Bennington, the display of flags and the ringing of bells, ushered in the day. At an early hour, the stream of travel from the neighboring towns, on both sides of the river, commenced, and soon the usually quiet town presented an animated and holiday aspect. In the village itself, all labor was suspended, and the people gave themselves up to the unrestrained enjoyment of the day, and the exercise of a general and cordial hospitality. The day was one of enchanting loveliness. Nature, with radiant smiles, welcomed her truant children, returning from crowded city or town to her motherly embrace, and fanned them with the breath of gales that "winnowed fragrance round the smiling land."
